Lots of ads are bid upon in real time. It's very complex.
And I don't get into the details because I prefer to blank them out.

Here's an example.

One or more browsers or ad-blockers offer an option to "allow acceptable ads". Zero in my book.

I don't watch TV and mute the radio ads.

I am more than capable of finding things on my own. I skip the first 5 or 10 results on search (I use DuckDuckGo, which bases ads (and placement?) on content, not on profiles, which they don't keep.) and skip past Amazon, EBay and such. It's all SEO crap at the top of search.

I do OK.
I even turn off extensions when at a really critical banking or business site.
They have strange interactions, but I need to do the numbers correctly.
